Objective: This naturalistic, nonblinded, nonrandomized study examined the efficacy of multimodal treatment including intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) delivered via telehealth (TH) compared with a matched sample of youth treated in person (IP).
